    The existing user fields do not show a house name only a street name.I have added a user field called House which I note is stored in Data.
    How can I extract the House field info for the email edit where you can insert certain user fields into the email template ?

    Use this variable:
    {$user.data.FIELDNAME}

    Hi,

    I have an issue with inserting a field and was wondering if this can be fixed?

    I have used {$user.data.preferred_name} and it comes up with an extra space on both sides of the field, even though I have no spaces in my code.

    eg(using Bob as an example) It looks like "Dear Bob ," instead of "Dear Bob,"

    Thanks for any ideas.
